Climate action compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C could more than halve the combined loss of today’s climate refugia compared with current climate policies, even after accounting for the impacts of land-intensive climate mitigation.

The world is set to cross 1.5°C global warming, but can still limit, adapt to and return from higher temperatures with rapid, collective and global climate action.

This report examines whether a third runway at Heathrow Airport is compatible with the UK’s domestic and international legal climate change obligations, and shows how growing airport capacity before climate technologies succeed will break the UK's carbon budget.

From improving soil health to increasing water storage, it is essential that UK farms build resilience to future droughts and a changing climate, according to an expert from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at UEA.

Tara Taylor-Deacon and Wasundara Doradeniya reflect on the 2026 TECN Summer School, a three-day event that brought together early career climate researchers from across the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. Here's why they think interdisciplinary and cross-sector working is essential to addressing today's climate challenges.

Researchers have developed a carefully assessed global dataset of UNESCO World Heritage site boundaries, providing a valuable new tool for understanding climate risks to cultural and natural heritage worldwide.

A new four-year programme led by the University of Bath, involving UEA and other partners, will explore how to support climate action, behaviour change and climate resilience across the UK.

New research shows that Indigenous knowledge can strengthen sustainable food systems, improve food systems literacy, and help address climate change, biodiversity loss, food insecurity, and poor health through more culturally inclusive approaches.

This online public seminar discusses public and political gaps in the necessary speed for climate action, within the wider context of diverging views.

Researchers are advising Parliament on the growing energy and environmental impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) and data centres, as part of a new inquiry into their implications for the UK’s net zero ambitions.

Climate change could increase hydroclimatic whiplash and drive more extreme river conditions under 2 degrees C and 4 degrees C warming, with greater flood risk, longer dry spells, and growing challenges for water management across the UK, new research suggests.

Future climate change is expected to drive a major increase in cooling demand in UK social housing, highlighting the need for climate-adapted housing design to reduce energy use, support residents' wellbeing, and ease pressure on energy infrastructure.

An international review of the 2025 fire season highlights the severe societal and economic losses caused by extreme wildfires, even as global burned area and fire emissions remained below average.

Professor Hayley Fowler has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of her pioneering work on climate change impacts.

New research into Scotland's Dava Moor Fire suggests increasingly dry conditions could make extreme wildfires more likely across the UK and other temperate regions, as climate change alters traditional fire patterns.

A new tool for assessing climate adaptation planning quality, applied to more than 2,000 climate action plans, reveals consistent patterns in how cities structure climate adaptation, and where performance varies.

Through a British Academy Fellowship, Dr Katie Jenkins is exploring how we can better understand social vulnerability and embed it in climate adaptation policy – bridging the gap between academic research and real-world decision-making.

This two-day interdisciplinary workshop will share up-to-date understandings, challenges and opportunities for communicating climate and environmental assessments with diverse audiences.
